Oakland is to San Francisco what Brooklyn is to Manhattan, so it's not surprising that it boasts a bunch of amazing indie boutiques. Oak Common is one of our favorite lifestyle shops in the hood. The cool, rustic space is always stocked with Ace & Jig, Objects Without Meaning, Dusen Dusen, Bridge & Burn and more for both men and women.

While we may love them for their cozy coats and printed blankets inspired by Native American design, Pendleton is a true force in the American apparel industry with a legacy that spans 150 years. Founder Thomas Kay began crafting high-quality woolen products in 1863 and quickly earned a reputation for impeccable craftsmanship. Every piece is carefully crafted out of premium 100% virgin wool. Flash forward more than a century and the Portland-based brand is still known as a go-to brand for premium outerwear and cool woolen wares. Pendleton fuses the nuances of its rich history with contemporary modernity with prints, dyes and motifs inspired by traditional Native American design.
